This was one of those experiences that far exceeded every expectation, in every way. Absolutely…read moreworth the 20 minute drive from Portsmouth for our anniversary dinner. And downtown Suffolk is just beautiful and quaint, it feels friendly and idyllic. *Ambience: Extremely comfortable, super approachable, but also refined with lots of wood and brick, but open and airy, and lots of light. You walk in to a cocktail and bar area, with an incredible painted sign on the brick wall behind the bar, that is a total throwback. The bar is incredibly comfortable and open and warm feeling. There are hardwood tables and beautiful booths along with a private dining area in the back. Really couldn't ask for or want for a more comfortable environment. *Service: absolutely stellar, super friendly staff, our server could not have been nicer or more genuine, or had more of an "ownership attitude" as if the restaurant meant everything to her, and so did us being there. She knew everything on the menu, had great recommendations, and insured we were consistently taken care of. She truly missed nothing. Harper, the owner, came over to check on us and ensure we were enjoying ourselves. He couldn't have been nicer or kinder or more humble. Service was outstanding. *Food & Drinks: The food! The drinks! Oh man! I've been a "Yelp Elite Member" for almost 10 years and the food here at hT is near the top of all my reviews, hundreds of them. The highest quality ingredients, impeccably curated, ingeniously but simply paired, created with a true love for the art of cooking and the true joy of the consumer. This was obvious. We started with a Mainstream Manhattan and Old Fashioned from the bar. No ordinary bartender, she's a true mixologist/professional. Both drinks were excellent, no "simple syrup" used here, raw sugar cubes melted into the finest spirits, yummm! We order brussels sprouts from the appetizer menu everywhere we go and compare them. None have ever come close to our favorite, for a dozen years, until now. These were crispy on the outside, but juicy inside, flash fried to an al dente bite and finished (almost injected) with a cherry vinegar glaze that permeated every bite with sweet, tart perfection. We also started with the vibrant Camden County May Pea & Truffle Toast which was like a celebration of spring with a fresh, grilled baguette topped with fancy Italian truffle cheese (insane!), sweet tender may peas, and fresh pea shoots, all drizzled with olive oil for a fresh, earthy, and simple bite that captured the essence of this farm-to-table cuisine. For entrees we ordered the Ben Johnson's Soft Shell Crabs with remoulade and the Brown Sugar Brined Porkchop with pimp cheese, grits, and chard tomatoes with a side of hand cut fries with roast shallot mayo. Everything was stellar, no exceptions. I can honestly say this was **the best pork chop I've ever eaten, ever.** Tender, sweet, meaty and paired perfectly with the creamy cheese grits and the tang and smoke of the charred tomatoes. Ridiculously good! See my photos, too bad they don't come with "taste-o-vision", because, wow! The hand cut, skin on, double fried potatoes and roast shallot mayo were fantastic. As if that wasn't enough food, they also brought us stone ground cornbread, with a massive slab of rough salted butter, steamy, warm, soft, buttery perfection. I'm ready to go back now! *Value & Overall: I posted pictures of all menus and all prices. Their spirits and mixed drink selections from the bar are incredible. The food, service and ambience simply couldn't have been better. Prices, as you'll see, are exactly in line for what you get and an excellent value. Portions on everything were excellent and we ended up taking home quite a bit of food, which was also stellar the next day. I absolutely cannot recommend Harper's Table highly enough. This establishment, all parts of it, truly earn a five star review across the board with no exceptions. Have no hesitation, make a reservation, go, it will become an instant favorite.

Visiting family on the east coast and celebrating a new home. We were looking for a nice local spot…read moreand came across Harper's Table. From the reviews, it looked very enticing so we decided to take a chance here as opposed to venturing out to the bigger cities nearby. We arrived about an hour before closing and were seated immediately in a booth. Our server, Tally, greeted us soon after and offered some waters and menu suggestions since it was our first visit there. She did a really thorough job of explaining the menu. We placed an order for fried oysters appetizer and needed a few more minutes to decide on our entrees. We discussed sharing a few since we really couldn't decide. After a short time we then ordered our entrees. I ordered the Prime Ribeye, served with the "original" potato gratin and red wine braised onions. Amazing flavor! Julie ordered the Smoke In Chimneys Trout served filet with skin over Carolina gold rice, pink eyed peas and hope for Suffolk garden okra. Sara ordered the applewood smoked baby back ribs and requested the potato gratin. Finally, Larry ordered the Last Soft Shelled Crabs. Also added a pink lady apple salad to share. More on the food later. This is where our evening took a bit of a downward turn. Tally brought some plates and a sauce for our fried oysters appetizer. We had waited almost 30 to 40 minutes since being seated and ordering the oysters. After a bit of a wait, we didn't see Tally again so we questioned the delay with a few other employees because the table behind us had been seated well after our initial order and then soon after received.... three orders of fried oysters! We were still waiting. Another server whom we inquired about the delay came back and said they were working on our order and a manager would stop by to discuss the situation. A few minutes later another person arrived and presented a serving of fried oysters. Julie asked if they were the manager to which she replied, "Yes". It didn't appear as if she was going to discuss anything with us until Julie inquired is she was the manager. We proceeded to explain our discontent with the situation. She replied that our order was just placed a few minutes ago. Why did our server bring plates so much earlier? Why did she wait to place the order of our appetizers until after our full entree order was received? It was explained by Jessie, the manager, that all orders are placed and "fired" or initiated with the kitchen, together and entrees would follow appetizers being served at an appropriate time. While Jessie did apologize, it sounded like she was making excuses for the delay rather than owning any actual existence of the long delay. That didn't really make much sense since we ordered our appetizers well before with the purpose of having them served sooner since we needed time to review the menu for our entrees. Anyway, from that point on, we rarely saw our server. Other employees did stop in periodically to see how our meal was progressing. The website had a message from the owner stating, " honest seasonal cooking and remarkable hospitality" and "a memorable hospitality experience". Sadly, our experience lacked just that from our server. She never mentioned a miscommunication or any lapse regarding the food ordering/ delivering process throughout the rest of our meal. Not once! Thats strange since a manager was involved. Our visit was only "memorable" due to a lack of true "hospitality". Anyway, other than the lack of personal service from our server after ordering, the food was overall good. My steak was a little more medium rather than medium rare. But still tender, juicy and flavorful. The rib meat was good and the soft shell crab was delicious as was the pink lady apple salad. The trout was mostly flavorless and needed something to bring out any memorable taste. I just wish the service throughout our meal matched the food quality. We saw other members of the team more than our server after speaking to the manager. Not sure if that was by design or just happened that way. Jessie did stop by after payment and present a small gift card as a nice gesture due to the situation. Not sure if I'll give them another try as I do appreciate local spots and want to support them whenever possible. Just difficult when we're treated as an afterthought by our server. Keep on Yelp'n!

This is another spot I had on my radar to try... well a few weeks ago, I had time so I pulled up…read more The parking lot was empty, but I was sure the restaurant was open. I walked in and was greeted warmly. After a few exchange of words, I advised the woman, this was my first time visiting. She welcomed me again... I was a little uneasy of what to try, since most if not all the food is fried and I prefer blackened, broiled or even steamed seafood. I ordered one of the lunch specials and the woman advised she could do light batter. Music to my ears, I didn't even have to ask, suggesting that definitely warranted five stars!! My meal was cooked to order and I waited maybe five minutes give or take another minute. I was tempted to try something on my ride home, but I figured I could wait five more minutes to sit down and enjoy the meal. Surprisingly, I was impressed. My daughter took a few bites and enjoyed the fish. She thought the hushpuppies were a bit thick, but she still came back for more. I ordered the two fish, shrimp and hushpuppies lunch deal. Now I must say I was hungry and if you're like me, your taste buds can very when you hungry, hangry or just want a small bite to eat. But I believe this meal was straight. I will go again just to make sure :) I love scallops, so that's my next entrée of choice. Parking was not an issue, but I can imagine it could get a little out of control because the parking lot is not big at all. Check them out if you are in the area. Keep and I eye out, you could easily ride by this location. Have fun and enjoy life :)

I was really excited to try this spot, and I wish I would have kept going…read more To start, the ordering kiosk was broke; not a problem, I'll order at the register. Wrong. There were no menus, and I was expected to order using the pictures on the wall, some that had no prices. While ordering, I was informed that the majority of drinks were out; the only choices were diet Pepsi, lemonade, sweet tea and orange. How is this possible. Anyway, there was some confusion on how many sides came with each meal, leading me to end up with more sides. After ordering, I waited a while for my food. I asked for hot sauce, ketchup and utensils...I was given a few unwrapped forks from a cup, and told they didn't have packets. They pointed me to a table with a few bottles, including Franks Red Hot. Not sure it was supposed to be that color so I skipped it. On to the food. First up was the sides of mac and cheese and collards. At $4 per side, the containers were tiny. I would complain, but the sides were so bad, I'm glad I didn't have much to eat. The collards were dry, had no taste, but were somehow spicy. The mac and cheese was okay, but runny. Next was the fish sandwich; they were out of lettuce and tomato, so that wasn't an option. The portion on this was good, but it was simply bread and fish, no sauce. The fish tasted a bit plasticy, so I tossed. Now comes the fried chicken. Holy guacamole, the chicken was great! Top five in Hampton Roads!!! Overall, the experience at this location sucked. I won't be returning, but I am up to visit other locations.

If you're in a hurry....keep on driving and find somewhere else to go! They are unacceptably slow!…read more I'm torn with my review. So I'm unsure of the number of stars this restaurant should receive. * Ambience/space - one star - there is no ambience. This place has been in the community for years! We need to do better. Not sure if we need an investor or just some push for the owners to not only clean the waiting area, but use clean rags when doing so. The cloths that were used while I was there were disgusting. I'm willing to donate! Clean or change the presentation counter. Update the furniture. * Service - one star - no greeting when you come in; no intro to the new system (I was the only one who used it); I waited 40 mins for my food (I have receipts!) and didn't get an apology or offered a beverage. I decided to wait because it was storming terribly and I didn't want to go through the hassle of a refund with the new machine (the young man at the counter said he would have to ask how to do it); there were three people ahead of me and about seven or eight behind me. Everyone received their order and I was left there alone (people exiting kept wishing me good luck!). I was told "my chicken is still frying." I ordered 2 two-piece snacks and an order of fish bites. Oh she gave me extra fries...thank you but no thank you. Sometimes an apology, a smile, a free beverage, extra food (not fries), or a free meal makes a huge difference. I've been coming to this location since 2016 and my hubby's family have been patrons since this location opened! Wow! Let's do better Feather-n-Fin! Chicken and fish are on point. Three and a half (don't have a half star) stars for the food ! Thank you!

We could see a fire going on a grill in the kitchen, so I knew they were open for business. There were no employees in sight. Eventually someone came around the corner and asked if we wanted to eat in the restaurant (where we were standing) or at the bar (which we had walked past to get to the restaurant.) Wasn't it obvious? We were led to a table, handed menus, and that was it. We never saw another employee. No water, no offer to take a drink order. Zilch. After about ten minutes, we'd had it and walked out of the building unacknowledged. Hotel management should be ashamed of this place!

Came out extremely fast, as expected. We shared a hibachi table with one other family and we were the only ones there on a Friday night. Perhaps it was the weather. Nonetheless, service is great on a slow night. Environment was about what you'd expect from a hibachi place, outside is a little sketchy, but don't let it deter you.

I have been wanting to try El Korita for a couple of years now so figured this would be a perfect time, I'm sure glad we did! We got there an hour before closing and even though the place is pretty tiny, they were able to seat our party of six with no wait time. Put two tables together for us and quickly got our drink orders and brought us three baskets if chips with both the red and white salsas to accompany them. Red salsa was delicious, I'm not a fan of the white sauce in general but the white with the red together was pretty tasty. They also took our food order quickly and were patient with our requests to change a couple of things with the order. Food came out really quickly, very hot and freshly made, and delicious!!! Our party tried the steak and chicken fajitas, enchiladas Mexicanas, loaded nachos, shrimp taco salad, steak tacos and steak quesadilla. Everything was delicious and really reasonably priced and they never rushed us through, even though by the end of our meal it was closing time. Highly recommend this place, we'll definitely be back!

We arrived about 6:00 pm and we waited about five minutes... to our surprise another party was getting up from the table. After the waitress cleaned the table, we were sat after 8 minutes of walking in. Business was booming! We saw only three workers up front, but they all were on the move non stop. I ordered chicken and beef soft tacos and my babe ordered the fajitas. We both enjoyed our food and ate it all! He ordered a cocktail and I, a margarita. The margarita had too much mix in it and was not good at all... I am taking away the one star. The free chips and salsa... the chips were delish! Not sure if they were fresh or store bought. The food was plentiful and overall we will return if we are in the mood for Mexican. This mom and pop shop closes early, but if you are in the area they are worth checking out. Parking is available on the street. I did not see a garage nearby, but on this day parking was not an issue for us. Have fun and enjoy life :)
